nesting

I made a new Teensy last night while watching TV with Mark. The room was very dim so I wasn't sure how he would turn out. In fact, I was a little surprised by the colors once I looked at him this morning in the light. I'd thought I was working with tan clay for the body and black eyes. However, as you can see he is a nice golden color with blue eyes and I think he is better for my lack of lighting. (Another photo here.)

on the home front
Here in the swamp (my husband says Houston was built on one) I'm still swamped with home improvement projects. Today I finally checked painting our bathroom off of the list. It took me three days to do because I was painting over wallpaper and I had to do a lot of priming and sealing and drying first. So today when I was finally at the place where I could put the color onto walls today I was a happy girl. I love painting. I'm so focused while I'm doing it and always get a huge sense of accomplishment when I'm done. And on Friday my contractor is coming to finish the job so we may have a working toilet and shower by the end of the week. Just what you were hoping to hear when you stopped by huh?
